Day 3-ICS- Car Love July 31, 2008

 

This is “Nater” from “Cars” took on our honeymoon 2008.

 Sorry that this is late but yesterday was day three and it is car love.  So if you are from terre haute, indiana you will understand this post, well some of you others probably could also but who knows.  Well anyway, here in Terre Haute when it comes to driving you will see with in five minutes of when you get here people aren’t very nice.  People and there cars here are all about themselves.  The move in and out of traffic like it is a race to get to anywhere first.  The don’t let people in who are at intersections.  And they just plain cut you off.  They honk and yell and show you that great ol’ finger.  Well don’t get me wrong their are some nice people out there here in the haute that don’t do this….it just seems that they are out numbered way out numbered.  Well I’m one of them, and so is my husband, we both can’t stand the impatient drivers here in terre haute.  I can remember that we were running late a couple months ago to something and a guys car stopped in front of us….while others honked and yelled at the guy becuase his car wasn’t going my husband got out and helped push the guys car to are open parking lot. (This made me cry it showed so much God’s love for people) Well my little car love was nothing like that but it was something.  On my way to an interview in downtown terre haute.  I was stopped at a light and watched a bunch of people not let a old guy out of a alley…..and they weren’t going anywhere either and they could have easily let him out….well I watched ten different cars do this and when I got up to the light I let him out.  It is just plain the right thing to do….people need to slow down and look out for others and stop thinking of themselves.

Day 2-I.C.S.-Overflowing Fun July 29, 2008

Niece Gabi, Sister-in-law Ginger, Nephew Josh, & Brother-in-law Mike

Well today is another day of not having a paying job but having a job that is for the amazing God.  So today I ventured by having my nephew over and watching him while his mom and sister did some work.  It is always great to role model in front of a kid how God loves.  We played some old game cube Mario Kart and then watched a movie.  Then his mom and sister got back to pick him up after a couple of hours and brought lunch and then we all hung out and spent some good laughing time watching “Rocketman” a 1997 Disney movie with Harland Williams….a funny man.  It was a good day at the job for me becuase not only did I get to brighten my nephews and niece and her friends day but I got to spend it with my hubby who was off work today.  The way that I have helped him is not bug him with stupid things and just let him sleep.  Overflowing fun always makes God’s love shine in your heart and life.  It’s a smile you just can’t get rid of.  Also I give big props to my dog, Samson, named after the bible character becuase he showed great love and strenght for playing for some many hours with the family.

Day 1- To change someone-SMILE July 28, 2008

So today I ventured out and decided that even though I don’t have a job that I would make one for myself until I get one.  My job is to help change someone in a different way each day.  Today my mission was clear when I saw a older women sitting outside the bank on a vehicle.  I decided that instead of avoided her and looking down at the ground that I would smile and say Hello.  And as soon as I was done she smiled really big…..it was a smile that made my heart just sing.  I like to think that in my hello God touched her life in someway.  And when I came out she was still there so I talked to her a little.  I like my new job….and my payment is far better then any money from the world.
